Some facts about Grammy:

Popularly known as Grammy Award, it is originally named Gramophone Award, presented annually in the United States by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS; commonly called the Recording Academy) to honour artistes in the music industry for their exceptional work in a year.
It was started in 1959 to respect the performers for the year 1958.
Once it was made, the committee decided to call it Grammy as a tribute to Emile Berliner’s gramophone.
The “General Field” are four awards that are not restricted by genre:
- Album of the Year
- Record of the Year
- Song of the Year
- Best New Artiste
Winners are selected from more than 25 fields, which cover such genres as pop, rock, rap, R&B, country, reggae, classical, gospel, and jazz, as well as production and postproduction work, including packaging and album notes.
The honorees receive a golden statuette of a gramophone.
The Grammys are the first of the Big Three networks’ major music awards held annually and are considered one of the four major annual American entertainment awards with the Academy Awards (for films), the Emmy Awards (for television), and the Tony Awards (for theater).
